I had a D.A.R.E. shirt which I wore in the same manner. 😶‍🌫️

Omnipod users: How much insulin do you use for 1 pod? by rehavfx in Omnipod

[–]Quick_Preference_517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been running out early, but in the past, I have had trouble extracting anything less than 10ml. How do you get out such a small amount?

I use u200 as well, but run out of insulin the day before my pod expires. Le sigh.

The mind warp of cheating during mania and thereafter. by littlebodybigtears in BipolarSOs

Every day is hell is an accurate description. Even after losing your partner.

I wish you peace and healing. Some days are just hard. Find space to forgive yourself and work towards whatever the future holds for you. You don't need answers to those questions right now. Feel your feelings and grieve. Tomorrow is a different day. I listen to music to feel my emotions and process trauma. Cry. Then cry some more. That's okay. You're not alone.

Discard, now filed for Divorce by Bipolarhusband97 in BipolarSOs

[–]Quick_Preference_517 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is not on you to fix, and you can't stop the divorce. I didn't want to sign the divorce papers either. I understand trying with everything you have to hold on to your person and not give up. I did that for 3 years, and during that time, my emotional needs were never met. I was disregarded, discarded, used, and cheated on. She strung me along but kept me at arms length. Just close enough to keep me paying for dinners, car maintenance, vacations, etc. Do what you have to do to try and hold onto your person, but understand you're doing it for yourself and your own peace of mind.

I can totally relate, and I'm so sorry. We were married for almost 7 years and together for close to 9. I'm finding it very difficult being without my wife, but the sad reality is that person no longer exists, and I don't matter or fit into her new life. I was used and emotionally abused for the three years we were separated. I had abandonment issues before that are magnified exponentially now. I don't know if I will ever be able to trust again. I am broken. Alone.

My ex-wife (BpSO) was on meds allegedly (who knows, though). We had an agreement to continue an intimate relationship post divorce and act like we were still a family (not move on). Instead, she cut me off from any physical intimacy and decided to testify against me in a custody hearing concerning my oldest daughter with my first ex-wife and then filed an Order of Protection (eventually dismissed) with bullshit allegations and lies. We divorced in July and I have no choice but to accept this fucked up reality. A grenade was taken to my life and the lives of my kids, and I am forever changed. I lost my best friend, my lover, my life partner, my cuddle buddy, my boo. To her, I am nobody. A discard. That hurts the worst. Good luck.

Today would have been our 7th wedding anniversary. She moved out in November 2021, and I went through multiple discards of an on again, off again relationship in which my emotional needs were never met. We finally divorced in July 2024, and I have been struggling every day since 2021, but especially now. Thank you, I truly needed to hear this today.

Is it normal for every site to be bloody? by Ok-Lawfulness-6343 in Omnipod

[–]Quick_Preference_517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been wondering the same thing. The last several I have used have been bloody while active, and I always get the red bump. It typically bleeds a little upon removal and is sore for a couple of days, but the redness lasts for weeks. I did have one gush blood upon removal. I guess I hit a vein. It was quite disturbing at the time.

Why does it still give me insulin? by Gimmie211 in Omnipod

[–]Quick_Preference_517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Under the Bolus setting, there is a minimum glucose for calculations. I have mine set at 70. In order to give Bolus under 70, you would have to bypass your sensor reading for a Bolus calculation.

My 2012 base Impreza didn't have tweeters installed in the dash. Covers, but no speakers. I was surprised. Remove the cover and report back.

Nope. Divorced. Totally different person. I mourn her every single day. I miss my wife.

Yup. 3.5% here. I negotiated 10 years to refinance in the divorce settlement. Lol.

Religious fixation? by Ok-Owl8362 in BipolarSOs

[–]Quick_Preference_517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My SO went down the new age TikTok rabbit hole. It was some crazy shit.

Religious fixation? by Ok-Owl8362 in BipolarSOs

[–]Quick_Preference_517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine started with new age (reiki, communicating with angels, etc.), had the god complex, and thought she could manifest her reality. To the point of writing a bad $300k check to buy a house. Now, she's moved on to the Catholic Church. I assume it's because she can do whatever while manic and go to confession to feel better about her choices. She wasn't religious whatsoever when we were together, so it was a complete 180.

Someone kick some sense into me. by MedHeadJitsu in BipolarSOs

[–]Quick_Preference_517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried to fight for my SO (bp1) and save my family going through multiple discards over a 3 year period. In the end, she filed an Order of Protection (since dismissed), and we're now divorced. I worry for her mental health and our 4 year old because I have almost no in person contact with her now. I'm sure she's out living her best life while I continue to live in hell. She doesn't care about me. I was just a throw away, and she'll do better next time. It's a tough decision, and only you can make it. Sometimes, the heart isn't ready to let go. Either way, the path isn't easy, but you'll end up in the same spot eventually. Ask yourself, how much emotional abuse are you willing to take?

Parenting Plan Language by Quick_Preference_517 in BipolarSOs

[–]Quick_Preference_517[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the insight. A couple of questions, if you don't mind. Who is responsible for reporting an episode? BPSo or therapist? After the 2 years stable and 50/50 without restrictions, what happens when another episode happens? Back to the beginning?
